Oral Interview Day!
• I distributed the situations we will be using for these interviews.
• As this is their first “On-demand” Oral, I allowed students to select their situation as well as their speaking partner.
• We clarified the criteria for the situations: 20 thematic vocabulary words and 10 questions (5 of which are open-ended), include all of the items detailed in the situation, begin, maintain and close the conversation with appropriate courtesies and maintain the use of Spanish only throughout the conversation.
• Students selected scoring jobs – counting usage of: thematic vocabulary; idiomatic expressions/cultural fillers; or one of the 4 types of questioning strategies we’ve been practicing.
• Students selected the order of their presentations, and we began!
• Tarea:
1. Study the handout about writing a letter of interest for a job.
2. Using the guideline on the backside of the letter handout, write a rough draft of your letter – to a real place, to a real person for a potentially real job.
3. Write your rough draft of your letter.
